If it is not a Sony device then it isnt exclusive. Exclusive means exclusively on a certain platform and not on any other. When you have games showing up on multiple platforms they are not exclusive. Madden is not exclusive even though its made by EA because it shows up on many platforms.

If I can own a samsung phone and play sone games without needing a Sony device to do so, then those games are not exclusive.

Well, you'll probably never be able to use your Dualshock. Apple are dicks about 3rd party devices, especially game controllers. The only way they approved the Gameloft one is it only works with Gameloft games. But I guess if it only worked with Gaikai...

@Sev this has always been the move right from the start..kaz even stated this right off the bat.

with the Playstation Mobile development platform.

"PlayStation on iPhone? What is potentially far more interesting (and wide-reaching) is the promise that we may see PlayStation Suite game downloads made available on Apple's iOS and PCs running Microsoft Windows, if recent comments from Sony boss Kaz Hirai are anything to go by. "There are a variety of operating systems, but we're focusing first on Android," the Sony Computer Entertainment boss said in a conference this month, as Eurogamer reports. "There's also Windows, iOS and so forth, but we don't have the resources to make it compatible with everything from the start." "We're not ruling out PSS even on products like Sony Internet TV Powered by Google [Google TV] if adoption rate increases, or if it will help push adoption greatly. We have a completely open stance with carriers and handset makers."

I doubt they would make PS3/Vita/4 exclusives playable on other platforms other than their platforms. It could increase software sales but it would definitely hurt hardware sales.

If PS3, PSVITA, and PS4 exclusive games can be played elsewhere. Then what would be the point of owning THAT platform. lol

They'll probably make it so that PS exclusive games can only be streamed onto their platforms, but muliplat games can be streamed practically anywhere else. I'm also expecting to see some PC exclusives on PS platforms via Gaikai streaming. Could be pretty awesome.

PS3 games ARE coming to the Wikipad. What they'll do is allow older exclusives to be playable via Gaikai. And they'll probably allow us to play the complete collection of PS3 PSN games through our Vitas too.

@ srcBFMVBMTH" It could increase software sales but it would definitely hurt hardware sales. "

"If PS3, PSVITA, and PS4 exclusive games can be played elsewhere. Then what would be the point of owning THAT platform." lol

Has that hurt Microsoft's xbox platform?

Many of its best exclusives have all found them published to the PC, why would it be anymore of a detriment for Sony as it would be for Microsoft?

What that would the playstation Platform be without its exclusives?

The simple fact is it will still be a Playstation!

and that does not outright mean all the exclusives go day and date to the Gaikai service with the release of the playstation console release. there may be games that do not get put on the service of Gaikai and only released on the Playstation platform or at least first.

Than you may say you can wait, and i will still get to play the game at a later time, than I guess you could wait and Hope it gets released on another platform.

"And they'll probably allow us to play the complete collection of PS3 PSN games through our Vitas too"

Well I'm definitely expecting that. PS3/PS2 exclusives brought to Gaikai so that they could be played on the Vita. But I'm not too sure about the Wikipad thing. Do you have a link?

What would be the point of owning that specific platform (PS3,Vita,PS4) if those exclusives can be played elsewhere other than a Sony product? It's not that I'm against or anything lol. It's that I don't see the point if it could potentially hurt hardware sales.

"Has that hurt Microsoft's xbox platform?

Well considering the fact that you can't find many Xbox 360 exclusives developed by Microsoft going to PC anymore. I think it actually could have. Most of their popular games such

for microsoft would be a win win situation ...when u can play ps games on your windows pc increasing windows 8 gaming area ....ps3 ownser will no play halo ....so they still need a xbl account and a xbox...

i think this is the beginning of leaving the "expansive" high end hardware consoles ....for sony...so im not happy at all

So spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a new initiative would be best put to use on a platform that isn't selling well, but will likely make use of said initiative anyway, all while closing the door on the millions of people who DON'T own a Vita? Brilliant.

Well I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy, But when sony starts putting there exsclusives on gaikai sony fans will lose one of there main arguing points. Which is that there is no need for them to buy a xbox platform cause all of there games are on pc, Well sony fans welcome to MS, Cause sony is about to do the same thing, Why? cause it makes since from a buisness stand point, but let it been MS all kind of hell would've been raise why there is no need for an xbox.

an your point is?

you are going to hear that no matter what, even you brought up that very point, its about hypocrisy right?

well that is not just for the realm of fans of Sony products, "why buy the PS3 multiplatform game when the same game play's better on the xbox360" Since that same game play's better on the PC! lol

point that out is like anything you are always going to hear that same argument no matter what and its still a moot point no matter what anyway.

The cost of running 3rd party games on Cloud servers would come at the expense of Sony since Gaikai is their company. So, i don't know how they are going to settle the cost of running games that eventually get old and are not worth the money of keeping alive. THAT is a major issue that Onlive had. Gaikai had yet to have that issue before, because all they were focused on was demo's. Now they and Sony are gonna have to take this into consideration/

@MightyPatapon"I thought the main idea behind Sony acquiring Gaikai was for Sony to get content to stream on PlayStation platforms.

But it seems like Sony Computer Entertainment content is going other places.

The idea of streaming and playing The Last of Us on PC seems weird to me."

and the blunt point is it still is!

I have been pointing out this for the past few year's, Sony is moving and Expanding the Playstation Brand into the Market as a whole, it does not mean that the Playstation platform is going 3rd party, it just means that Playstation content can be released on other hardware and the idea is to sell playstation content to as many people as they can.

If you have a playstation machine made by Sony or not. the point of owning a Playstation is just as viable as it is any hardware sku to play your content, because not all playstation content may not get released to other platforms other than a playstation. That does not mean that there would not be a chance to play older playstation games on other hardware though. So anyway you look at it its still the content that matter's.

Could the "Other Mobile Devices" be Windows Mobile phones?
I doubt it because WM phones only take up around 2% of all smartphones, so why would Sony bother trying to cut a deal with MS? I doubt Sony and MS would partner on anything game related anyway.
Not that it matters, though.
Windows Mobile stinks, and so does iOS.
Android FTW!

wait a sec. The info doesnt really imply that Gaikai would come to IOS.The list says"coming to android and other mobile platforms" instead of "coming to android and IOS" it doesnt mae sense cause why should they leave the brandname "IOS" out? other mobile devices could mean that its coming to playstation certified phones like xperia, wikipad,Vita Thats why people should'nt get their Hopes too high

Sony wins next gen by announcing they are offering PS games on 3rd party devices? Doesnt take much for you to give Sony the win... I can see it now. Sony announces new cup holder built into the PS4 and here you come "OMG its the greatest thing ever, Sony wins this gen hands down." Could you be more pathetic?
